This report provides an overview of the developments, challenges, and prospects of social protection for migrant workers in ASEAN.
Labour migration is a key feature of the ASEAN labour market and is expected to continue to increase over the coming years. It has a significant economic impact on individuals, households and countries of destination and origin. Yet, access to social protection for migrant workers remains limited due to lack of portability arrangements, legislative barriers, discrimination, and poor compliance with existing social security laws.
This report provides an overview of the developments, challenges, and prospects of social protection for migrant workers in ASEAN. Based on extensive analysis of national and regional legal and policy measures, and a review of relevant international and human rights standards, unilateral standards, and bilateral and multilateral arrangements, it emphasizes the need for a comprehensive network of intra-ASEAN social security agreements.

During the weeks of January 20 and February 10, 2003, EWG purchased 22 samples of lettuce from the shelves of seven different grocery stores in Northern California and sent them to be analyzed for perchlorate by scientists at Texas Tech University, which has emerged as a major center for perchlorate-related research. The samples included pre-packaged and head lettuces, adult and baby greens, organic and conventional lettuces, from several different distributors.
Four samples were found to contain perchlorate at levels that ranged from 30 to 121 ppb and averaged 70 ppb. [Note: ppb = nanograms per gram (ng/g) lettuce wet weight.] There was no relationship between the results and the type or brand of lettuce tested. Because the detection limit for perchlorate in lettuce is relatively high (30 to 40 ppb in lettuce, compared to 1 to 4 ppb in water), it is possible that some of the other samples tested also contained perchlorate at concentrations lower than the detection limit.
Although there are no safety standards for perchlorate in food, EPA has been working for more than a decade toward establishing a safe drinking water standard. In 2002, EPA proposed a reference dose for perchlorate of 0.00003 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, which is the dose at which no adverse effect would be expected.  Based on an average adult body weight of 70 kilograms, and not counting exposures from food, EPA calculated that a safe level for perchlorate in drinking water is 1 ppb, or 1 microgram of perchlorate per liter of water.
EWG analysis shows that a one-cup (two-ounce) serving of the contaminated lettuce samples would contain, on average, 4 micrograms of perchlorate. This is four times what the EPA says is safe to drink in a liter of water. The most contaminated sample contained 7 micrograms of perchlorate per one-cup serving. But women's eating habits vary greatly — some eat very little lettuce; others may eat a large salad twice a day. Women's body weights also vary. These variances have important implications for risk analysis because they show that some women can have much higher exposures to perchlorate than others.
To better assess the health risks of perchlorate in lettuce, EWG analyzed USDA's 1994-1996 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals database, which monitors the food consumption of thousands of ordinary Americans.  The database contained information on 2,453 women of childbearing age (15 to 44) who measured their lettuce consumption over two days. One-fourth of the women ate lettuce on a given day, with 2 ounces the typical serving. But some ate up to 10 times as much in a given day. No differences were found in lettuce consumption by women who were pregnant or breastfeeding, compared to others of child-bearing age.
Using this consumption data and adjusting for body weight, EWG calculated the percentage of women who would exceed EPA's provisional RfD under different scenarios. If the lettuce eaten contained the average amount of perchlorate found in the contaminated samples, 57 percent of the women would get a dose higher than the RfD, and 37 percent would get at least twice as much. If the woman with the highest lettuce consumption in the USDA database ate lettuce with the highest amount of perchlorate in our samples, she would get a dose that is 44 times the provisional RfD, based on her body weight.
One-fourth of women in the USDA database ate lettuce on a given day and 18 percent of the winter lettuce samples tested had measurable levels of perchlorate. From those values, EWG estimates that more than 2.8 million American women of childbearing age eat perchlorate-contaminated lettuce daily during the winter months. Approximately 1.6 million of these women get a daily dose of perchlorate greater than the EPA's proposed reference dose, and more than 1 million of them get a daily dose at least twice the RfD.
Moreover, recent research has shown how remarkably sensitive the developing fetus can be to small disturbances in thyroid hormone level. One study found that women whose levels of a particular thyroid hormone measured in the lowest 10 percent of the population during the first trimester of pregnancy were more than 2.5 times as likely to have a child with an IQ of less than 85 and five times as likely to have a child with an IQ of less than 70. This was true whether or not these women were clinically hypothyroid, and many women in this group had thyroid hormone levels considered to be in the normal range.  This is important because it means that perchlorate does not have to alter women's thyroid hormone levels dramatically to have critical effects.


Disposable tableware can be such a hassle. The plastic never seems elegant enough then, of course, there's the environmental concern behind them. With the new tableware from Chinese designer Qiyun Deng you'll never have to worry about style or damaging the environment.
Deng has designed colorful set of biodegradable spoons, fork and knives that look like the vegetables that inspired them. You'll sip soup from an artichoke spoon, cut fruit with a pineapple knife and eat your pasta with a celery fork.
The designer used resin to mimic the vegetable's texture and relied on 3D printing to complete the process of building the utensils. The result is truly amazing.

Germany's Scholz in China amid Trade, Ukraine, Rights Issues

BEIJING — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday for a one-day visit that has drawn criticism over China's tacit support for Russia in its war on Ukraine and lingering controversies over economic ties and human rights issues.
Scholz, who is traveling with several top German business leaders, received a formal welcome from Xi, who was recently re-appointed head of the ruling Communist Party, at the Great Hall of the People in the heart of Beijing.
Xi noted that Scholz's visit comes as the sides mark more than 50 years of diplomatic relations dating back to when the countries, despite their fierce Cold War rivalry, relaunched economic exchanges that remain a key part of the relationship to this day.
"At present, the international situation is complex and changeable," Xi was quoted as saying by state broadcaster CCTV, without specifically mentioning Ukraine. "As influential powers, China and Germany should work together in times of change and chaos to make more contributions to world peace and development."

In his opening remarks, Scholz referred directly to the conflict that has created millions of refugees and upended world food and energy markets, saying, "We come together at a time of great tension," according to German news agency DPA.
"In particular, I want to highlight the Russian war against Ukraine, which poses many problems for our rules-based world order," Scholz was quoted as saying.
Scholz also touched on global hunger, climate change and developing world debt as "important issues," DPA reported.
Scholz, who relies on a coalition of his Social Democratic Party, the Greens and the Free Democratic Party, has come under criticism for making the visit to China so soon after the 69-year-old Xi's triumph at last month's congress, in which he was named to a third five-year term and packed the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee with committed allies who support his vision of tighter control over society and the economy and a more confrontational approach to the West.

The visit also occurred amid rising tensions over Taiwan and follows a U.N. report that said Chinese human rights violations against Xinjiang's Uyghurs and other ethnic groups may amount to "crimes against humanity."
Scholz was accompanied on the trip by about a dozen top German business leaders, including the CEOs of Volkswagen, BMW, BASF, Bayer and Deutsche Bank, most of which are doing a thriving business in China. Scholz will also meet company representatives in Beijing.
That has some German observers questioning whether the country is becoming overly reliant on the Chinese market, just as it did with Russia for energy supplies.
Following lunch, Scholz and his delegation were to meet with Premier Li Keqiang, who nominally has responsibility over China's economy.
Despite their political disputes, Scholz's visit reflects the importance of Germany's trade ties with the world's second-largest economy.
In an article for the German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Scholz said he was traveling to Beijing "precisely because business as usual is not an option in this situation."
"It is clear that if China changes, the way we deal with China must also change," Scholz said, adding that "we will reduce one-sided dependencies in the spirit of smart diversification." Scholz also said he would address "difficult issues" such as the rights of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, who have been detained in large numbers in what the U.S. and others have called a campaign of genocide.
Scholz is the first leader from the G7 group of industrialized nations to meet with Xi since the start of the global COVID-19 pandemic, which was first detected in China in 2019. The diplomatically delicate trip comes as Germany and the European Union work on their strategy toward an increasingly assertive and authoritarian Beijing.

Scholz's messages will face close scrutiny, particularly at home where some have criticized him for normalizing China's behavior. While his nearly year-old government has signaled a departure from predecessor Angela Merkel's firmly trade-first approach, his trip follows domestic discord over a Chinese shipping company's major investment in a container terminal in Germany's crucial port of Hamburg.
With China still imposing tough COVID-19 restrictions, his delegation is moving in an anti-virus bubble, undergoing testing and won't stay in Beijing overnight. At just 11 hours, it is the shortest trip ever to China by a German leader. The aircrew who brought him to Beijing flew to South Korea to wait out the visit and avoid having to be quarantined.
German officials say the trip is intended to probe where China is going and what forms of cooperation are possible.
An official pointed to China's "particular responsibility" as an ally of Russia to help end the war in Ukraine and press Moscow to tone down its nuclear rhetoric; to concerns over tensions in Taiwan and the broader region; to Germany's desire for a "level playing field" in economic relations; and to Scholz's current status as this year's chair of the Group of Seven industrial powers.

The digital transformation trends in schools mentioned below are making headlines because of the ways in which they are impacting student learning.
The wave of digitization has taken education by storm and the results are pleasing.
With new technology coming in everyday there are few to be named that are making the impact and transforming the way we perceive education. Educators from all grades have started appreciating the use of technology and have already started making drastic changes to their instruction, assessments, even the physical make-up of their classrooms, and at a much faster rate than expected.
The trends mentioned below are making headlines in education because of the ways in which they are impacting student learning.
It's sad to see desk lined up facing the boards keeping students away from the essential skills that they would develop in a classroom activities. The traditional seating hinders students from collaboration and in process takes away the opportunity to develop many important skills such as creative thinking, critical thinking, collaboration, communication and many other. Luckily, the idea of integrating technology has inspired the educators to create collaborative friendly spaces to facilitate learning. The key noticeable changes are the presence of smart boards, hands-on activities for lessons among the students, going on field trips to experience the real life education, virtual field trips and incorporation of various multimedia learning content to create engagement. The redesigned learning space is laden with integrated technology, which means students aren't just using these things, but they understand how to use them in order to achieve a specific goal. Moreover, some of these learning spaces aren't even in the classroom.
The use of AI in education has proved to be very useful and holds a lot of potential as to make learning teaching a better efficient process. One of the biggest challenges that are faced by the educators in the classroom is to identify and deal with the educational needs of students attending their classes.
This is a problem that is being solved with the integration of artificial Intelligence in the classroom. Machine Learning algorithms, programs that obtain patterns from data and provide insights and suggestions, help teachers to find gaps in their teachings and point to where students are struggling with the subject matter. In other way, it also help the educator in making sure that the students are utilizing their time in classroom to the best by making sure that the learning is actually happening.
Also read the role of AI in EdTech.
AR and VR are the correct examples of transformative technology that significantly enhances the teacher instruction while simultaneously creating immersive lessons that are fun and engaging for the student. Virtual reality has the capability of bringing the outside world into the classroom and vice versa. And the best part about integration of this technology is that all you need is smart devices which are a part of every classroom nowadays and connectivity to internet. There are many apps that can be used to facilitate students with amazing AR/VR experiences.
The use of gamification is on rise especially in primary and preprimary education. The reason remains the increased engagement levels and the efficiency students reflect. The driving force for students while using gamification is the challenges that they have to overcome in order to earn a badge or simply to reach the next level. The gaming technology makes the complex learning subject matter interactive and interesting for students. And the best part is the ease of getting this tech in hand via apps and other web tools that caters to the educational needs with interactive games for one and all.
Well I see these 4 technologies making a mark in education and transforming it at a fast pace. What is your opinion about it? What according to you is the next phase in the education industry? Which technology is going to hit the industry hard?


Rain is beautiful and it gives me a feeling like no other. I think about being in my house laying comfortably on the coach while it is down pouring.
Dark gray clouds, thunder, lighting all signs of rain but the best is the smell of it coming.
I see rainbows through the dark clouds showing a stream of happiness and water drops on plants as if they were crying for light. I see street lights and car lights in a blur.
I feel water soaking me, as I walk on the sidewalk, but I don't care because it makes me happy. Sitting and watching rain takes all the worries away and I feel as if I am in another world.
Rain is beautiful and it gives me a feeling like no other.
I love the rain so long as I am not out and about. I want to enjoy it from within my cozy, dry home!
I love the rain! I agree with everything you said about it. When it rains me and my sister run around outside. I wish it rained more here!


In partnership with the University of Rochester Medical Center, a new service will soon arrive, the Mobile Stroke Unit. This specialty ambulance brings all of the hospital care to the patient when a 911 call for stroke comes in. There is a link at the end of this note explaining the unit.
Since East Rochester uses AMR for 911 service, it will be the only municipality in the area besides the City of Rochester to receive services from this unit through the 911 system until we expand our coverage sometime in 2019. This means that ER residents will receive something pretty special.
There are only 13 of these units in the country and this is the only one in Upstate NY. The rig is staffed by our EMT and Paramedic, along with a Critical Care Nurse and CT technologist; we will be performing CAT scans on the ambulance and treating stroke patients with "clot-busting" drugs in the field, with UR doctors guiding us with telemedicine units. The doctor will be able to see and talk to the patient in the back of the ambulance.
The MSU will be dispatched whenever we receive a call to 911 for a stroke. This will be in addition to the regular paramedic ambulance that responds. If the patient is not having a stroke, then the regular ambulance will continue care. If the patient is having a stroke, then the MSU team will transport the patient to the hospital of his/her choice; it is not exclusively transporting to Strong. There are currently no additional charges for the MSU, it is currently financed through donor funding. The rig will be in service next week.
The unit will also be available for community education.

So here we are only 4 sleeps away from our grand adventure to the Orient.
We've been practicing our packing and had forgotten the challenge to "pack light". On our recent overseas trips we committed to taking only a small "carry on" size wheeled suitcase to check in and a 30 litre back pack to take on board. That allows enough clothing and stuff for around 1 week. It works well.
I found the concept of packing light in 2009 from onebag.com and we've traveled light ever since. Everything we've packed so far will come back out of the bags and culled by about a third before we leave. It's really liberating to take just the bare minimum. And the real bonus is not dragging around a huge suitcase full of "just in case" stuff.
We caught up with Sam yesterday and shared out the cash that I'd bought last week. It was great to talk through our last-minute thoughts and plans. Sam's pretty well sorted and ready for the journey. And having the money has made the reality a lot closer. So many notes for seemingly so little value.
I'm not sure how the internet will work in China. I think in Hong Kong it will be fine. In China though, there are restrictions on sites like Facebook, Skype and a lot of Google applications. We plan to buy Sim cards in China and hope to use text and email, and we'll see how Facebook works. The best way for people to contact us will be via email we think.
The current temperature in China is averaging mid 20's, so should be comfortable weather. Hong Kong is typically about 4 degrees hotter.
I admire your dedication to packing light Sue, I'm afraid it is a foreign concept for me, lol!!!
Look forward to hearing about all your adventures!


At the 2015 ECOS Fall Meeting, ERIS worked with the U.S. EPA's Office of Research and Development to hold a Tools Café for states to learn about tools available for state use. Below is information on the tools that were featured at the event.
ACToR is EPA's portal to access the vast array of publicly available computational toxicity, exposure and other toxicity data on over 500,000 chemicals. Data and information available through ACToR can be used to prioritize the thousands of chemicals that need to be tested for potential endocrine-related activity and understand the use of chemicals and their presence in different types of consumer products.
EPA's Air Sensor Toolbox provides information and guidance on new low-cost compact technologies for measuring air quality. Since citizens are interested in learning more about local air quality where they live, work and play, EPA scientists created the Toolbox to provide citizens resources to effectively collect, analyze, interpret and communicate air quality data.
CADDIS is a website that provides a step-by-step guide for identifying probable causes of biological impairment. It provides information on common stressors such as physical habitat, nutrients, metals, pH, toxics and temperature. Recent investigations using CADDIS include fish kills in the Susquehanna River and California watersheds affected by agriculture, forestry and urbanization.
C-LINE/C-PORT is a modeling and visualization system that can inform state and community users of local air quality due to mobile-sources in their region of interest. Using a simplified modeling approach, the tool accesses inputs, performs calculations, visualizes results, provides options to manipulate input variables and performs basic data analysis. The model is intended to be used by states, local government planners and community groups for non-regulatory needs. C-LINE is currently available as a beta-version and is expected to be made publicly available in October 2015. C-PORT is under development and is expected to be available for best testing in October 2015.
C-FERST can be used as a community outreach tool to help learn more about environmental issues, gather information and develop options for possible solutions. Following the structured guides that are included in C-FERST, the information and maps you gather can be used to develop screening-level community environmental health assessments.
To access the draft version, email CFERSTMAIL@epa.gov for link, ID and password. Anticipated public release by March 2016.
CMAQ provides the capability to simulate ozone, fine particulate matter, mercury and other toxic air pollutants at spatial scales ranging from urban to hemispheric at a 1-hour resolution for time scales ranging a few days to multiple decades. This modeling system provides air quality managers the tools to assess the impact of multiple air pollutants in a scientific and holistic manner. CMAQ is currently being applied by over 3,000 users from around the world, including many states and regional planning organizations. Public release of CMAQ version 5.1 is expected during the fall of 2015.
EnviroAtlas is an online decision support tool that states, communities and citizens can use to help inform policy and planning decisions that impact the places where people live, learn, work and play. EnviroAtlas also provides a valuable resource for education and research, combining maps, analysis tools, fact sheets and downloadable data into an easy-to-use, web-based resource.
GIWiz is an interactive web-based wizard that helps community decision makers navigate EPA's green infrastructure (GI) and stormwater decision tools and resources. It offers intuitive and streamlined pathways to appropriate resources based on parameters such as user roles, cost criteria and decision objectives. GIWiz bridges the gap between the scientific knowledge contained within our GI tools and the institutional knowledge about where those tools are located and what they are for. Opportunity for states to participate in beta testing expected to begin October 2015.
HIA is a decision-making process that asks how proposed decisions may impact health and well-being. HIAs consider potential consequences of decisions; include input from the people impacted by those decisions; provide flexibility based on timelines and resources; consider different types of evidence; and present timely recommendations to decision makers. We will share how EPA engaged in a HIA of the Boone Boulevard Green Street Project in the Procter Creek communities of Atlanta.
I-WASTE is an online decision support tool intended for decision makers at the state and local, tribal and federal level, as well as the private sector, to aid in managing wastes generated from a variety of incidents ranging from natural disasters to chemical, biological or radiological incidents to foreign animal disease outbreaks. I-WASTE has information related to potential treatment and disposal facilities, calculators for estimating the amount of waste that is generated from different types of incidents, and a library of relevant guidance documents from many sources.
The National Stormwater Calculator is a desktop application designed to help support local, state and national stormwater management objectives using green infrastructure (GI) practices. It can inform site developers, landscapers and homeowners on how well they can meet a desired stormwater retention target. In January 2014, it was updated to include the ability to analyze different future climate change scenarios. Users can apply these different scenarios to determine how well GI increases the resiliency of stormwater management approaches to a changing climate.
WMOST is an application designed to support implementation of integrated watershed management (IWM) in the most cost-effective manner. IWM includes stormwater, drinking water, wastewater and land conservation management practices. WMOST Version 1 focuses on management of base flow. Version 2 expected to be released September 2015 will include a flooding module to assess costs associated with peak flows. Version 3, expected to be released in the winter of 2015, will include a nutrients module.

Orthodox corruption?
After decades of suppression, the Russian Orthodox Church appears to be back in favour with the country's leadership.
Less than three decades ago, it would have been unthinkable for a Russian premier to have exchanged public expressions of solidarity and goodwill with the head of the country's Orthodox Church.
For years under communism the institution had been suppressed, its priests harassed by the authorities, its churches closed or given over to communal secular pursuits, its devotees scorned for their 'superstitious' adherence to doctrines that the state and the party regarded with deep suspicion.
Indeed, the Soviet Union was the first nation to have elimination of religion as an ideological objective and tens of thousands – if not hundreds of thousands – of people paid very dearly for their beliefs as a consequence.
But things have changed. Nowadays the nation's political leaders and top clerics seem to be building an extraordinarily close relationship. Last week, President Vladimir Putin appeared with the Orthodox Church's Patriarch Kirill to celebrate the latter's fourth year of leadership of a religion that is re-establishing its traditional place at the centre of the country's affairs.
"At the heart of all Russia's victories and achievements are patriotism, faith and strength of spirit," said Putin, speaking at a ceremony in the Kremlin. The church, he said, should be allowed more control over aspects of Russian life and "get every opportunity to fully serve in such important fields as the support of family and motherhood, the upbringing and education of children, youth, social development, and to strengthen the patriotic spirit of the armed forces".
Such sentiments, which are being heard increasingly often these days, are music to the ears of those who hark back to the days when Russia's particular brand of Christianity was the country's dominant moral force.
From its foundation in the 10th century when the Orthodox Church broke from Roman Catholicism, its power and influence grew until it became central to the nation's very identity, synonymous with Holy Mother Russia. Now, its champions will tell you, after the barren wilderness years of Soviet hostility, the Church is merely reclaiming that rightful pre-eminence.
Others are not quite so convinced. Adherents of other religions and committed atheists (and there are still plenty of both in Russia, despite polls which show that almost three-quarters of Russians consider themselves Orthodox) question whether Vladimir Putin's recent co-joining of Christian values with patriotism actually has more to do with his desire to unify a country where ethnic and political fault lines are beginning to show than with any genuine commitment to spirituality.
Nevertheless, the Church's top clerics, basking in the warmth of the Kremlin's new found appreciation, are grateful and happy to reciprocate. Patriarch Kirill has famously likened Putin's time in power to a "miracle of God".
And when in the run up to last year's presidential elections, the female punk band Pussy Riot controversially entered Russia's Christ the Saviour Church and sang that the Virgin Mary should "throw Putin out", church leaders were publicly delighted that the government cracked down hard and that the women were given long jail terms.
But there is more to this closeness than just mutual admiration. Physical signs of the Orthodox Church's resurgence can be found all over Moscow where a massive state-funded programme, worth billions of roubles, to restore hundreds of Orthodox churches is currently underway.
Though the initiative is undoubtedly returning some of the Russian capital's ancient architectural wonders to their full glittering glory, it has caused some to wonder whether the Church should be choosing its friends more wisely.
Some even talk darkly about corruption, about the less-than-transparent way publicly funded reconstruction projects have been contracted out, about the oddly commercial relationships of certain Church institutions and the controversial use of taxpayers' money for church related projects in what is still officially a secular country.

BALTIMORE – The Coast Guard medevaced a man Wednesday who injured his hand while working on a tug in the Chesapeake Bay.
Rescued was Julio Moreno, 49.
The Coast Guard was notified via cell phone by crewmembers aboard the tug Hoss at 1:19 p.m. that a crewmember had injured his right hand a few days before while working on a running light and was now suffering from swelling in his right arm and elbow. A rescue crew from Coast Guard Station St. Inigoes, Md., was deployed to the scene and arrived within 26 minutes of initial notification. The Coast Guard crew then transferred the man aboard and transported him to Point Lookout State Park in Scotland, Md., where he was met by local EMS.
The Coast Guard urges mariners to carry marine band radios onboard their vessels. In the event of an emergency, a marine band radio is a reliable way to communicate with other vessels or rescuers. Cell phones are not recommended for use due to gaps in coverage and limited battery life.


While individual presentations allow someone to work at their own leisure and pace, group projects require a sacrifice of time and increased effort.
Individuals can control how they present, what they present, and many other aspects when presenting individually.
An individual presentation is based solely on one person's thoughts, time, and effort.
Individual presentations are always easier. It's an individual's work, ideas and creativity' that will either make the presentation successful or unsuccessful.
In individual presentations, the Whole burden is on a single individual.
A group presentation is supposed to be a subject matter with content that is agreed upon by all of the members present. This allows for more viewpoints and can lead to an overall improved and effective presentation.
Group presentations offer less flexibility and can be much harder to accomplish things if too many people are running in too many different directions.
Group presentations involve a team or group of people. These group presentations can be productive or not productive because of the different skills and levels of the group members.
A group presentation needs to incorporate the thoughts and opinions of the people in that group.
With a group presentation, you can get a variety of different opinions and combine each other's ideas and strengths.
A group presentation may be able to save time because of a lot of people are working on it; however, scheduling can delay time with a group as well.
Whereas, group presentations entails less stress and less overall work and allows people to get to know one another.
Group presentations require more responsibility.

Greenwich to Westminster and Back
We began the week by returning to the Museum of London to view the special Sherlock exhibit that runs until April 12, 2015. One highlight is this interview with Scottish born Sir Author Conan Doyle who explains where he got the concept for Sherlock.
The next day we toured the Wallace Collection. It began as the private collection of the first Marquess of Hertford and was added to by his heirs ending with Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess. This impressive collection of furniture, paintings, porcelain and armoury is housed in one of the Wallace family's homes, Hertford House.
There are many rooms, each decorated in sumptuous wall fabrics to showcase their exhibits.
The armoury alone fills four rooms and viewing the entire Wallace collection will take a minimum of two hours, but it is definitely time well spent.
A spur of the moment decision the next morning took us to Greenwich. It was such a lovely day we felt like a walk in the park!
But first we toured the Chapel...
and Painted Hall of the Old Royal Naval College. The Painted Hall was originally used as a dining room and is described as "the finest dining hall in Europe".
The twin domes of the Old Royal Naval College (shown in the header) were designed by Christopher Wren. He also designed St. Paul's and the Royal Observatory (below).
Next on the agenda - Westminster Abbey.
Up until now we've viewed abbeys and churches that were either destroyed or altered during the Reformation. Westminster Abbey was spared that fate and everywhere we looked there are statures, memorials, paintings, carvings - basically 1000 years of additions and alterations. It was both mind boggling and impressive. Photography was not allowed, but I took a quick snapshot just because some rules are meant to be broken. ;-)
The Victoria and Albert Museum is touted as the world's greatest museum of art and design and no wonder. It could take years to see all of its exhibits.
Once inside the hallways and staircases provide some idea of how large this building is.
There is something for everyone in the V&A whether it's modern glass sculpture...
Decorative church alters...
Medieval triptychs...
If you can't find something in one room that appeals...
There is always another section. Perhaps ironwork, glass or pottery appeals.
Besides visiting museums, abbeys, halls and houses this past week we also explored the east end of London and walked both sides of the River Thames during the day and early evening.
We also made time to stop at a pub for lunch most days. We particularly enjoyed this one, the Town of Ramsgate. It's the oldest pub on the River Thames.
Whew, re-reading this post I'm exhausted...and to think we've barely scratched the surface of London!

Woman attacks with fists, fingernails, lawmen say
CRESTVIEW - A Baker woman was arrested after she and her boyfriend gave conflicting stories to Crestview Police about an alleged battery.
Officers went to a Patton Street residence on Jan. 3 upon receiving a report of a physical disturbance. There, they found a man standing by his car, and a woman standing by her car, her face streaked with tears.
The man said the woman came to the address to talk about their troubled relationship, the officer wrote in the arrest report. She then pushed him. He said he grabbed her by the neck and shoulder to keep her from pushing him again, and the two fell to the ground. When they stood up, she punched him in the mouth, then hit him several more times until they fell a second time. He then picked her up and sat her inside her vehicle, and told her to leave. Instead, she went to his vehicle and began throwing the contents around.
The woman said he told her to meet him at the Patton Street residence so they could talk. She admitted to pushing him and said she did so because she thought he was selling drugs to the residents at the house. He grabbed her by the hair and drug her to the ground, with her screaming at him to stop. Then, she said, she struck him in the mouth and the two fell down again and began to wrestle. She agreed he put her in her vehicle and told her to leave, but she went to his vehicle and began going through his things to find narcotics to prove he was selling them.
Officers arrived shortly after.
The man had numerous scratches and red marks; the woman had no obvious signs of injuries.
She was charged with battery and has a Jan. 29 court date.

"Guide" Now a lot of people are suffering from femoral necrosis, and there will be joint pain phenomenon occurs. These are diseases on the bones. Once the human body suffers from joint disease, it will affect life and work for us. Joint pain can bring a lot of pain to the patient itself. How does joint pain treat to be more effective?
Joint pain is a great threat to us as human beings. It can affect our normal life and cause some distress to our work. Therefore, when Joint pain occurs, patients should be treated promptly. How should Joint pain be treated?
High-tech oxidation can instantly oxidize proteins and polysaccharides in tissue and inflammation of the lesion, which can cause proteoglycan loss of function and decrease when cells produce proteoglycan. If the osmotic pressure of the lesion is not maintained, the moisture will be lost and shrinkage will be achieved, thus leading to the elimination of the disease.
Non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs can also be used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes. Drugs can increase the characterization of lysosomal membranes to reduce the release of enzymes. However, these drugs can only alleviate symptoms and cannot control the progression of the disease.
Corticosteroids used in the adrenal gland can be treated using the premise that conventional treatment is ineffective and can be combined with some second-line drugs. Serious external complications such as vasculitis, Pleurisy, pericarditis, and inflammation of the iris ciliary body can be treated with hormones.
There are some degenerative changes, which cause joint pain, which requires physical therapy and a pain relief method to fix the pain. But such a method does not change the fundamental problem of the absence of soft tissue.
What is the cause of joint pain?
The occurrence of joint pain is usually due to a number of factors. In the event of joint pain, patients should be timely to the hospital for examination, to check the specific circumstances, and then the right medicine, so that the disease can be effectively cured. What are the causes of joint pain?
If there is damage to the peripheral ligaments of the joint and the knee ligaments are slightly flexed with poor stability, a sudden external force may result in an varus or valgus, resulting in damage to the medial or lateral collateral ligaments. The patient may have a definite history of trauma, such as swelling, bruising, pain, and restricted movement of the knee joint.
The meniscus injury of the knee joint, if in the paint joint micro-flexion, the sudden excessive internal rotation stretch knee or the outward rotating extension knee, will cause the meniscus tear, then appear the sadness, will have the obvious knee tear feeling, then will affect the joint activity has the bomb, walk limp, the movement is limited, the joint aches and so on.
Because trauma or excessive strain causes the joint synovial membrane to have a large amount of fluid, which will increase the pressure in the joint, resulting in joint pain, tenderness, swelling, and friction occurs when the sound. If the knee is extremely stretched, there will be some resistance, especially when doing the first exercise. The pain in the lower part of the patella is increased. When the extreme flexion of the passive, there will be a significant increase in pain.
Children also experience joint pain as they grow, mostly in boys, and more commonly in the hip and knee joints. This is usually a normal physiological phenomenon in children's development.
Joint pain is accompanied by other conditions. These conditions are usually local and systemic, causing great harm to the body and disturbing to the patient. What are the symptoms of joint pain?
Pyogenic arthritis, which usually has a history of infection in other parts of the body or a history of local trauma. There is swelling during joint pain. There may be no significant swelling in areas that are not deep, but there are usually symptoms such as elevated blood levels, incapacitating joint pain, and increased body temperature.
Osteoarthritis, which usually occurs after the age of 40, is characterized by joint pain, which is more severe in the morning, gradually lessened during the day and at night, and joint hyperplasia and friction between spines can cause pain between the joints.
Osteoporosis, most commonly seen in older women, can cause pain in multiple joints throughout the body, especially if you feel too weak to walk with a heavy load. To rule out other ailments is to switch to osteoporosis.
Rheumatoid and rheumatoid arthritis, which can occur in women between 20 and 45 years of age. Rheumatoid arthritis is usually a walk-through pain. Swelling pain, stiffness can occur in the wrist area, and joint sensitivity can occur in conjunction with pain and swelling.
When patients go into hospital for an examintion for joint pain, the doctor will base on the patient's specific situation to carry out some of the means of examination. Check the location and extent of joint pain, diagnose it and then treat it.
First, the doctor will ask if the patient has a history of pain in the joint, and this is a particularly important diagnosis. The cause of this joint pain can be known by questioning the history of the disease.
Physical examination of joint pain and then a comprehensive examination, to observe whether the joints of the site have swelling, redness, venous anger, muscle atrophy, scar, deformity and other conditions. Contact to see if there is symmetry on both sides, whether there is fluid in the joint. Walking gait can also show some pathological problems in joint patients. There are also some patients with joint lesions that can affect joint activity when there is a bounce.
Lupus cells are tested and need to denatured, the denatured nucleus of the phagocytic cells. About 80% of patients have systemic lupus erythematosus. There are 18% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, there will be appearance of lupus cells. Chronic activities to hepatitis patients, drug allergy, nodular multi-arterial inflammation, the conduct of systemic sclerosis, skin fungal disease, sometimes will see lupus cells.
Arthroscopic examination, which is a relatively new surgical technique. Now also widely used for shoulder joints, knee joint, hip, elbow, bare joints, and can even can be used in wrist joints and knuckles for the examination and treatment. Arthroscopic technique is less damaging, quicker to recover, and can be used to observe the structural changes in the joints directly with the naked eye, which is more accurate than the imaging examination.
Patients suffering from joint pain should follow the doctor's instructions for continuous use of the drug on a regular basis. In addition to medication, some adjustments can be made to the usual diet. Some diets may be helpful to the disease. Therefore, patients can use more in normal times to relieve the symptoms of joint pain.
People with joint pain can drink soya milk every day for three months, which is better than painkillers because soya is rich in soya isoflavones, a plant hormone that effectively suppresses joint inflammation, and studies have shown that eating some soya beans can have the same effect.
Eating fish can also relieve the pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid joint pain. Fish meat contains a number of submicron bolts that prevent rheumatoid arthritis and can effectively protect the patient's knee cartilage. Eating oily fish twice a week, such as salmon, is a great help to joint pain. Fish has a protective effect on the knee and can be eaten properly in normal times.
Eating more fruit can reduce bone wear, especially a vitamin C-containing fruit is most beneficial to the knee, such as Kiwi. Vitamin C can play a protective role in the knee and bone. Therefore, the patient can in normal times, the diet more nutrition balanced collocation.
Joint pain causes very big influences to the patient, for this reason, attention should be paid to joint pain in normal times, must carry on with the treatment promptly, so that the severity of the joint pain can be prevented.

KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) – Russian Aerospace Forces Commander Col. Gen. Viktor Bondarev said Wednesday he was satisfied with the ongoing tests of Russia's Su-57 fifth-generation fighter.
"In terms of timing, we are on schedule, and more aircraft are joining the tests. [The extra aircraft] speed up all preliminary flight tests, so I think that all previously announced time frames for the first deliveries of jets to aviation units of the Russian Aerospace Forces will be sustained, and we will get the planned number of aircraft," Bondarev told reporters.

Gregory Meeks Staffer May Try to Unseat Malcolm Smith
By Ross Barkan • 04/09/13 5:54pm
State Sen. Malcolm Smith
State Sen. Malcolm Smith, arrested and charged last week as part of a wide-ranging bribery scandal, looks like he could have electoral troubles in addition to his legal woes. Jason Hilliard, a long-time staffer to Congressman Gregory Meeks, is actively mulling a challenge to Mr. Smith, a source close to Hilliard told Politicker.
While Mr. Hilliard declined to discuss his bid, the source said he had been considering the challenge even before last week's indictment, as he wanted to "enact a more progressive agenda" than Mr. Smith had been advocating. The source addded that Mr. Hilliard "based [the] decision … to serve as a champion" on issues like the standard of living in southeastern Queens.
The Queens County Democratic Party has been looking for ways to unseat Mr. Smith, who angered members of his own party by joining with the breakaway Independent Democratic Conference last year. Adding salt to the partisan wounds, Mr. Smith was also exploring a run for mayor as a Republican, a quest that federal prosecutors allege he used cash bribes in pursuing. Mr. Smith has maintained his innocence.
Councilman Leroy Comrie, currently running for borough president, has been another rumored candidate to challenge Mr. Smith, though he has denied he is interested in doing so.

De Raam is een ongeveer 3 km lang afwateringskanaal ten zuiden van Altweerterheide.

De Raam werd gegraven in 1930 in het kader van de ontginning van het Wijffelterbroek, toen ongeveer 450 ha groot. Deze ontginning, in gang gezet door Weerter notabelen, begon omstreeks 1900, waarbij eerst het oostelijke deel werd ontgonnen. De eerste boerderij, "'t Brook" genaamd, kwam tot stand in 1906.

De Raam werd gegraven om ook het westelijk deel van het Wijffelterbroek te ontwateren. In het westen werd de Lossing of Emissaire er op aangesloten, die in het gebied Kettingdijk de grens met België vormt en het gebied Smeetshof ontwaterde. In het oosten sluit de Raam aan op de Tungelroyse Beek, waar het water door wordt afgevoerd.

In 1962 werd de Raam nog verdiept en verbreed. Hierdoor trad verdroging op van het nog resterende natuurgebied. Later werd het waterpeil door de aanleg van stuwen in de Raam beter gereguleerd, waardoor ook het grondwaterpeil weer steeg. Op deze wijze kon ook weer worden voorzien in de waterbergende functie van de moerassen.

Eind 2022 is de waterloop weer om het Wijffelterbroek heen gelegd om het gebied natter te maken.

NCHU Tilt Ducted Fan. Specifications. A photo.
NCHU Tilt Ducted Fan is an experimental multipurpose unmanned aerial vehicle manufactured in China, developed by the specialists of Nanchang University of Hong Kong.
The NCHU Tilt Ducted Fan was designed by Chinese aircraft builders as a civilian experimental aircraft, and the real functionality of this drone is quite wide, in particular, the NCHU Tilt Ducted Fan can perform tasks related to aerial photography, observing , Monitoring, patrol and reconnaissance missions. To date, this device has not been put into mass production, but given the promise of this aircraft, the drone may well be interested in its potential operators.
The multi-functional NCHU Tilt Ducted Fan unmanned aerial vehicle is presented in a rather unusual configuration, combining the capabilities of a convertoplan and an airplane. The device itself has a fairly compact design, which in turn greatly simplifies the operation of this aircraft, allowing it to be transported without any problems. Due to the use of this configuration, the Chinese NCHU Tilt Ducted Fan is able to take off and land in almost any terrain.
The power section of the NCHU Tilt Ducted Fan is represented by four electric fan motors that are capable of supporting the drone's flight for 30 minutes, at a cruising speed of 60 km / h.

Home Mathematics Lessons Dice Football Part 3: Playing the Game!
After setting up the teams and the competition, it's now time to play the game! In this lesson, students will learn their 6,7,8, & 9 times table as well as improve thier mental strategies for solving problems.
Invite a student (Preferably a boy) to explain how a game of AFL Football is scored. A game of AFL is scored with 6 points and 1 point for a behind.
State to the students, we will be simulating games of AFL football, whilst learning our timestables in the process.
Invite a student to come up the front of the room. Get them to draw a 5 x 3 grid in the back of their maths books.
Give the students to 2 Dice saying once colour is the goals and the other is the behinds (I like to use green= goals, blue=behinds!). Invite the student to roll.
Ask the class " Now Sam rolled a 5 with the green dice and a 2 with the blue dice, What is his score?" Well 5 multiplied by 6=30 add 2 gives me a score of 32.
Keep rolling until eventually we have a winner. Make sure you add your score progresively.
Invite students to play round 1 of the tournament.
As students play the game more and more, change the value of a goals 6 to 7,8 & 9 for extensions.
Discuss different strategies on how to multiply the sums as well as shortcuts for addition too.
** In my classroom, I used this a warm up game about 2-3 times per week. It was great to get students thinking and they relished the opprotunity to compete against each other. But you can use this however you like!

The win sees Stoke move within touching distance of the Championship play-off places.
Saido Berahino's second-half header moved Stoke to within four points of the Championship play-off places as they beat struggling Millwall 1-0 at the bet365 Stadium.
Berahino's header from Tom Ince's inviting cross after the hour was enough to earn the upwardly-moving Stoke three valuable points as they close in on the top six in the second tier.
Stoke were indebted to Jack Butland inside two minutes when he superbly saved low down to his left after Jed Wallace's cross from the right was poked towards his own goal by Potters captain Ryan Shawcross.
In response, Gary Rowett's Potters went close when Erik Pieters received the ball on the edge of the penalty area to thump narrowly wide with his left foot while James McClean drove into space from the left but saw his shot held by visiting goalkeeper Jordan Archer.
At the other end, Lions striker Lee Gregory twisted and turned in the box to strike a snapshot low across the face of goal, with the ball ricocheting off central defender Ashley Williams on the line.
As the second half kicked off on a gloomy winter afternoon in Staffordshire, clear-cut chances were at a premium, and having manoeuvred into a good position Ince tried his luck from 20 yards, although his attempt was way off target.
Knocking on the door, McClean's teasing cross from the left just evaded Wales international Joe Allen in a crowded box as Neil Harris' Millwall battled in the Potteries.
But after 61 minutes, Stoke's breakthrough came through striker Berahino as he met Ince's right-sided cross to guide his close-range header beyond Archer.
Despite their deficit Millwall remained spirited in their play, and pushing for a leveller, substitute Aiden O'Brien broke through on goal. But after being forced to the byline he struck a tame shot into Butland's grasp.
The impressive Ince's free-kick from 25-yards crept inches past Archer's post as Stoke looked to wrap up the result with a second goal.
In the closing eight minutes of a closely-fought contest, Jake Cooper wasted a glorious opportunity to salvage a point for Millwall when he failed to make a clean connection to Shane Ferguson's corner from the right, looping his header over Butland's crossbar in front of the travelling support.
Millwall had a penalty shout on 83 minutes when Gregory went down in the Stoke box under a challenge, but referee Chris Kavanagh waved away the appeals.
The men from the capital went close again when Cooper launched the ball up to the back post for veteran striker Steve Morison, although the substitute hooked his effort wide.

Spotlight: American Institute for Cleaning Sciences
As part of our series on "Industry Influencers" including the Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI), the Green Building Council, and others, we're pleased to turn the Spotlight on the American Institute for Cleaning Sciences (AICS).
Are you a BSC facing declining profit margins? A facility or housekeeping manager struggling with inconsistent cleaning results? Have your safety costs skyrocketed? Do you struggle to stay on budget? You're not alone. Those are the most common red flags that lead janitorial professionals to call on American Institute for Cleaning Sciences (AICS) for help.
AICS is a cleaning consultancy that works with property managers, cleaning firms, manufacturers, and distributors to improve bottom-line results. The organization was founded in 2000 by Dave Frank, who previously worked for chemical and equipment manufacturers, and Jim Peduto, who once ran a distributorship and started a BSC that he grew to 2,200 employees.
"We're the only cleaning consultants whose principals have direct experience in all facets of the cleaning industry and every segment of the supply chain," Peduto says.
As an independent, third-party evaluation and accreditation organization, AICS has been instrumental in setting standards that improve the professional performance of the janitorial industry. Most notably, AICS helped the International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA) establish the Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS and CIMS-GB) and serves as the program's registrar.
"We help our clients use standards to improve their operations," Peduto says.
AICS' most popular service is an operational assessment, which paints a picture of an operation's strengths as well as opportunities for improving its service and costs. From there, Peduto and Frank create custom programs based on each client's particular needs. That may be a one-day consultation or a yearlong engagement.
Whether it's a training problem or a workloading issue, AICS helps clients uncover trouble spots in their operations. They can also provide site- or company-specific insights on the systems and standards needed to deliver cleaner, safer, healthier buildings at the right price.
For example, AICS recently helped a BSC who was struggling with a customer. The client wasn't happy about the quality of work and the BSC wasn't able to provide the service at a profit. "It looked like a dead end for everybody," Peduto says. AICS conducted an assessment of the operations and identified efficiencies the contractor didn't see, then helped restructure the delivery of the services to improve quality and profitably.
"Tailoring our offering to give each client only the services they need is why our ROI is so high," Peduto says. "For every $1 they spend with us, they typically get $6 back to their bottom line or operation. That's a pretty good equation."
AICS doesn't accept product sponsorships, provide janitorial services, sell cleaning supplies, or sell equipment. It's only business is insights. To that end, Peduto and Frank speak at industry events and write articles for trade publications in addition to one-on-one consulting.
AICS also offers an online library with more than 50 free articles and videos on important industry topics, including human resources, green cleaning, operations, and marketing. There are also a handful of useful reports, guidebooks, and software options available for purchase from $10 to $165.
To learn more about AICS, visit their website or call 607.748.9507 (Eastern US) or 303.906.1818 (Western US).

Tuning the band structure and, in particular, gap opening in 1D and 2D materials through their deformation is a promising approach for their application in modern semiconductor devices. However, there is an essential breach between existing laboratory scale methods applied for deformation of low-dimensional materials and the needs of large-scale production. In this work, we propose a novel method which is potentially well compatible with high end technological applications: single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) first deposited on the flat surface of a supporting wafer, which has been pre-implanted with H+ and He+ ions, are deformed in a controlled and repetitive manner over blisters formed after subsequent thermal annealing. By using resonant Raman spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the SWCNTs clamped by metallic stripes at their ends are deformed over blisters to an average tensile strain of 0.15 ± 0.03%, which is found to be in a good agreement with the value calculated taking into account blister's dimensions. The principle of the technique may be applied to other 1D and 2D materials in perspective.

My family and I have stayed at the Anaheim Marriott. It is a very nice and comfortable hotel. However I would like people to be aware of the very high nightly parking structure fee. At around $24 per night, this price needs to be added to anyone's budget especially if staying for multiple days.
Thanks for your comments! Today, parking and Resort Fees can add a lot to the daily rate at many hotels. We always recommend for our clients driving in which hotels in the area do not charge any parking fees. For the record, the current price for parking is $12.00 for daily parking and $17.00 daily for Valet parking.


What is Ear Candling (Thermo-Auricular Therapy)?
Ear candling is a therapy which has been passed down through the generations for thousands of years by different cultures worldwide. These include ancient Egyptians, the Greek upper classes and various Native American Indian tribes including the Hopi Indians. Primarily the therapy was used to cleanse ears from ticks and mites, but also to evoke mental clarity and deeper spirituality.
The Hopi Ear Candle is a tube of organic linen which is hollow, with a filter at the end to prevent any wax entering the ear. Each candle comprises of beeswax and a mixture of medicinal herbs.
The therapist will ask you some brief questions around your well being. After you are settled comfortably on the couch, a lighted ear candle is inserted into the ear whilst you are lying on your side. The burning candle creates gentle suction stimulating the ear, nose and throat balancing the pressure within the inner ear and massaging the membranes. Then you turn over and the process is repeated on the other ear. Some crackling and popping may be heard as the candle burns. Every precaution is undertaken to ensure no burning ash will fall upon you and the candle is removed long before it has burned down completely. Following this, a light relaxing facial massage takes place to break any congestion and drain any fluids and toxins from the lymph glands. A treatment takes around 50 minutes.
As with any therapy, the experience will vary from person to person. Emotional or physical changes can be immediate or may take a while and further treatments may be needed for chronic symptoms. Some will experience an increase in their general well being; some may feel lighter and clearer physically and emotionally; the senses may be enhanced (smell/taste/sight) and noise levels may be increased. Generally the experience is one of relaxation and of being comforted as symptoms alleviate.

Q: Android SAF - How to open directory / folder to a "content://" Uri? I have a Uri, that looks like this:
// directoryBase value is:
// content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/home%3Amyfolder`
val directoryBase = ...

I got it using this code:
            rememberLauncherForActivityResult(
                contract = ActivityResultContracts.OpenDocumentTree(),
                onResult = { uri ->
                    if (uri != null) {
                        viewModel.setDirectory(uri)
                    }
                },
            )

I can convert this Uri into a document reference (this form is required for DocumentsContract.createDocument), using this code:
val id = DocumentsContract.getTreeDocumentId(directoryBase)
// directory is:
// content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/home%3Amyfolder/document/home%3Amyfolder
val directory = DocumentsContract.buildDocumentUriUsingTree(directoryBase, id)

The way I am constructing the Intent for opening the directory is by using this code:
        Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
                .apply {
                    // neither `directory` nor `directoryBase` works, see explanation below
                    setDataAndType(directory, "application/*")
                    flags = Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
                }
                .run {
                    PendingIntent.getActivity(
                        context.applicationContext,
                        0,
                        this,
                        PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE,
                    )
                }

What happens?
App selector opens up. Samsung File just opens up in the root directory, Google Files crashes. To sum up, I expect the folder to open up, but different file managers fail to do it in different ways.

Please let me also explain why I don't think is a duplicate question:

*

*this question uses file:// uri

*same goes for this question, not to mention that the accepted answer requires ES file explorer

*this question and its answer is the same, but it seems that their content: uri is different and it does not work anymore with Storage Access Framework
